Niagara Falls Tours & Tickets

Niagara Falls generates approximately 4,400 megawatts of hydroelectric power, making it one of the largest sources of electricity in North America.

The falls were formed around 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age when glacial meltwater carved through the Niagara Escarpment.

Approximately 30 million gallons of water flow over Niagara Falls every minute, with the Canadian Horseshoe Falls accounting for about 75% of the total flow.

The mist from the falls contains enough moisture to create a unique microclimate that supports rare plant species found nowhere else in Canada.

Niagara-on-the-Lake, just 15 km north of the falls, is Canada's oldest continuously operating theatre district and hosts the renowned Shaw Festival each summer.

The Niagara region produces over 80% of Canada's tender fruits, including peaches, pears, and plums, thanks to the moderating effect of the Great Lakes.
